Lee Ann Womack

“I want to reach as many people as I can.”

“But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.”

“I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.”

“And it took me about 11 years to get a record deal, and I just had to work around and come to terms with the fact that what I was doing was going to be different, and I just had to wait until somebody was ready to jump on the bandwagon.”

“It's hard either way, at home or on the bus, I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.”

“I can see me continuing to make the best music I can, and let the chips fall where they may.”

“A lot of times in this business, we are taking advantage of hot times in our career to do a lot of TV and a lot of radio and that sort of thing, and George is able to be so humble that he can get away with not doing those things.”

“And I hate to see artists who are real safe. I love to see artists swing for the fences sometimes.”

“Well, probably having to be away from home. When I come back I kind of feel like there's a routine going on that I'm not a part of, so that can be difficult.”

“I don't sing country music because I'm not capable of singing other kinds of music; I sing it because I think it's the most beautiful kind of music there is.”

“Nominations come and go. It is not going to happen to you every year, and I am very well aware of that.”
